>> correct. that's the monument to the grand army of the republic. it stood here until the 1980s, so about a century writer at this location. what happened during the 1980s, pennsylvania avenue and had become very blighted, and so under senator patrick daniel monahan and other notables, they developed the pennsylvania avenue redevelopment corporation. it was downgraded. it was put in its place. i started this two and 2006. so at this point to in a half years. >> what dvd i get? >> when i was writing this as "the prohibition hangover," i was looking for ways to build him a platform for the book. one of the things was developing a tour. so i've had hundreds of peoples come on this tour.

>> so this is it. >> this is a temperance found. this has been called washington, d.c.,'s uglies down. you will see on the top are forwards, faith faith, hope, charity and finally temperance which gives the foundation in. by the way, comes out, through the forwards, out of the bible from saint paul's letter to the corinthians. the found here was actually placed here in 1882 by a california dentist named henry cogswell. he had made his fortune in the gold rush and he was part of the whole assonance movement. he made enough money these statutes around the country on a handful of them survived, including here in washington, d.c., and also in new york city. if you look at the statue itself, it's loaded with symbolism here. both symbolizing water, so you see the two dolphins in the middle which are pretty ugly.

water once came out of the mouse. this was an actual drinking fountain. there are two cranes on the top of the fountain. those are waterbirds. and it was actually, about 100 feet south of us now, there was a very, very bad neighborhood. so symbolically what they found said was the drink water instead of whiskey. whiskey drinking was very prevalent at the time in 1882 when this was built. >> would we go from your? >> we will go next up into chinatown to the art museum which is where abraham lincoln had his -- his second inaugural ball in 1865. will talk about abraham lincoln and his views on temperance up there. at the smithsonian american art museum and national portrait gallery, there are two museums in one. it was renovated after a six-year renovation, cost more money than they thought but they

did a spectacular job. this used to be the old patent office. >> that we are inside the atrium? >> this is the courtyard which opened in november 2007. this was designed by foster and it's designed to look like a giant wave. washington is very fortunate to have this very, very modern architecture. we almost didn't get it, but it was finally commission. so i was bringing the audience here into the museum to see this and it's usually kind of jaw-dropping. people really love to see. the reason i brought you here into the smithsonian american art museum here today was to point out that abraham lincoln had his second inaugural ball here in this building. in fact, in that wing right over my shoulder right there. at the very, very top, top floor. it was one of the largest public spaces in washington, d.c., at the time.

that way they could fit in more than 1000 people here in the room. at the ball in itself, they charged $10 per person for an all-you-can-eat buffet which is more like $1000 compared to today. so a lot of money these people spent. a virtual riot broke out once the audience were led into the room. they basically stormed the tables and they were grabbing oysters and hams and turkeys and so on. washington high society, march 1865. >> was there any drink involved in? >> i'm certain there was traded ball. d.c. has never been a dry city, prohibition, but there is always drink involved in washington, d.c.. >> and you said earlier that abraham lincoln was a proponent of temperance? >> he was. in fact, lincoln was a teetotaler. he didn't drink it he thought for all his life was labrie, abolitionism. but he himself chose to be a

temperance minded person more out of a personal conviction. tag for example, he told a group your that was once called the washingtonian society, they were like the early version of alcoholics anonymous. he told a group i'm not a temperance man but i have temperance exempt. i don't drink. so again, is kind of a personal decision for him not to drink alcohol. but not necessary to lower that over other people or make him feel bad because they chose to drink were as he didn't. there is another interesting story about linking being with ulysses s. grant who was the general who won the civil war. grant was a known trigger, sometimes a heavy drinker. and lincoln did not drink at one of his aides came in a complaint that grant was drinking on the job. and yet grant, was winning battles. so supposedly what lincoln said find out the name of the brand of whiskey so i can give it to my other generals.

and then finally, lincoln on the idea of moderation and alcohol, i think it's real interesting here to see his own personal views. this is from someone who does not drink, yeah, lincoln. he says it does not come from the abuse of a bad thing but from the abuse of a good thing. really interesting, the person who is a person who abstained with you that alcohol could have a good purpose in someone's life. >> i don't want to put you on the spot. would you say that lincoln, as a 19th century president, was unusual in that he didn't drink because i would say so, yes. the next really big temperance minded presently came to was weatherford b. hayes and his wife was known as lemonade lucy. the church i go to there's a portrait of her. we all joke that lemonade lucy portrait. she major lemonade was served at

white house functions as opposed to beer or anything else. >> so your tour starts a trend stops here. would you go next? >> we go one block away. >> how did we get prohibition in the united states? >> prohibition will start actually in jangly 16, 1920, once the 18th amendment was ratified. but it was actually part of a century long movement to ban on-call in this country. that movement was called the temperance movement. the idea behind their temperance meant to moderate one striking, but by the 1820s, the movement decided that people have to abstain for political on-call. this was led by evangelical protestant churches starting in the 18 teams and they believe that alcohol was simple, it was wrong. they called it demon rum. associate alcohol with a double.

and therefore, everybody had to stop ringing altogether. this movement lasted a century long. their idea was to clean up and sober up american society and eventually end up with a decent middle class, largely white-based protestant american society. and ultimately they got their way in prohibition itself. which was a constitutional amendment, 18th amendment, to ban alcohol in america, and that went into effect in 1920. prohibition lasted only less than 14 years because of extreme civil disobedience. the law of the land. a lot of violence here from organized crime, and i think extreme indifference from the american public here. they didn't realize what they had gotten into here by signing up for prohibition or they thought it was simply something useful to have and realize pretty quickly that no, in fact the country has only been a drinking nation. and a lot of ways, the temperance movement was i.e. to believe that people just simply oh baby law and not take.

>> in your book you seem to indicate that world war i has something to do with this? >> it did. a vastly part of how the anti-saloon got the 18th amendment through congress. and the asl, and isolated has been forgotten about. their own in existence for 40 years. they use the occasion of world war i when the united states went to war in germany in 1917, the largest ethnic group in the country at that time were germans. and guess who also worked the brewers? the germans, right? so yeah, yeah oh ethnic group whose rights are basically pushed aside. suddenly there was a huge anti-german hysteria in the country, intriguing beer which is what most americans drank at that point, suddenly looked anti-patriotic. this was a wartime measure. people that we needed this for the war and it went onto the stage without people thinking about it very much.

congress went through it very, very quickly. all but two of the states ratified the 18th amendment. those dates were rhode island and connecticut. both states had very heavy catholic populations, who realize that prohibition was really targeted at them because the temperance movement had a very strong protestant sentiment behind it. >> our next up is the striking brick church, calvary baptist church. >> it was billed in washingtwashington d.c. starting in the parent of the civil war. all the way to the 1880s. he was a german immigrant and he was known as the red architect. he was both for the red polygram b.c. you see how bright red is. and all of his building where that bright mid. the other reason he was known as the red architect was because he was good friends with karl marx. the guy who wrote. he was hired in 1866 to build his church that there was a

church built here for years before during the civil war. and it burned down and in the church and hired him to build this to church. this was a very, very edge of the town at the time and now it's almost right downtown washington, d.c.. this is in chinatown. >> we are here at calvary baptist church because of a really important event that happened in the temperance movement when that happened in 1895. that was that the anti-saloon league had its first national convention here in this building. the anti-saloon was formed only two years earlier by a congregational minister known as howard russell. out of ohio. he recruited a college senior named wayne wheeler. wheeler became the asl counsel, and he was, i call him the karl rove of his day. he is the guy who invented pressure politics. the way, how the tranny was going to squeeze these politicians to force them to vote dry instead of voting wet.

they met here in this building in 1895, and began how the asl was going to turn the country dry. one of the things they decided going to do was to go after the state's first. by the states, they got the states to allow local option laws. once there was a local option law in place, that meant that the church allies of asl, and these were evangelical protestant, could use their political influence and force the county to go to dry. and you see that as much across the deep south to this day. and parts of the midwest you still see a lot of dry cannings. that's because of the strong emphasis, strong influence i should say, of the southern baptist convention. >> once enough states had voted to put some kind of dry law in place, that would then force the congressman from that state to vote dry. so by 1950, a majority of the states had some kind of prohibition already on the

books. we had prohibition in 1917, before even have gotten to world war i. the city was essentially dry. legally it was dry. so the idea of, we change the constitution to ban on-call. i didn't seem so far-fetched. the majority of states were dry or had some kind of drive on the book. and it seems to be the will of the country that we should dry up the country entirely. again, the asl used the occasion of world war i, once the germans, once we declared war on germany and the germans were the biggest ethnic binary in the country, and also the worst, were pushed aside that led to the 18th -- the asl to propose the 18th amendment. >> some of the interesting think about the temperance movement itself, it was really an evangelical white protestants movement. this was a faith-based initiative to get the country to dry at.

this was a part sbus in the 1890s known as the progressive era. this idea that society can be reformed. a lot of good stuff came out of this era. women got to vote. we got our food laws but we got income tax -- well, that's a good thing or not, we have to decide on her own. but we also had prohibition. that backfired orinda slid against the temperance movement itself. this wasn't a three decade long period where we thought we can actually have a socially pure society. this is for the benefit of all americans here. to clean things up. at the same time of course, because it was so protestant lead, it really violated a lot of rights of ethnic minority. remember, starting with the irish in the 1840s, there was this great wave of catholics who came into this country, half of the germans again were catholic. and then have you guys can hear and a huge wave of jews on europe and so on. these people acted deadly. they brought their drinking habits within.

that violated what the temperance movement thought what it meant to be a good american. in this country are, we don't drink that we are emitter class, proper people. and you catholics, you need to behave. so a lot of the cases here, temperance, the temperance movement was targeted at the catholics to try to reform their ways. prohibition went into effect a year after the 18th amendment was passed but it went into effect on january 16, 1920. so 90 years ago. on eve of prohibition, you had one last chance to go out and buy alcohol. the majority of states were dry at that point. there was a mock funeral for barleycorn, led by a man named billy sunday that he was an evangelist and former baseball star. and in the mock funeral he preached the eulogy, and in his eulogy he said goodbye, john, you were god's worst enemy and the devil's best friend.

farewell. i hate you with a perfect hate, and by the grace of god, i love to hate you. >> and of course, prohibition went into effect the next morning. but things turned out quite differently. >> john barleycorn? >> that was an old nickname for a call. also known as demon rum. >> so when you're doing your tour, when you're done with the calvary baptist church, what's next? >> we jump on the subway and willie go see the woodrow wilson house that he was the president went prohibition went into effect in 1920. >> we rode the subway across the

city to dupont circle and now we're here at the woodrow wilson house. and why do you bring her to hear? >> woodrow wilson was the president when prohibition went into effect in 1920. he was also, by the way, he left the white house in 92 and one, he's the only president who actually retired to washington, d.c.. every other president in american history left the city. that makes him unique in this country. his wife actually bought this house for him. his wife, his second wife i should say, she was married, she was a widow, formerly married to a or. and she had some money. she married wilson in 1950, the same year the house or was actually built. it was a state-of-the-art house for its type it so it has electricity, an elevator in it and so on. the key reason why edith bought this house here, really for her husband, was that in the waning

days of his presidency, he had a massive stroke during that time. he was trying to sell the tree of her side to the country. he was out on a big row two are trying to get the country to throw its weight behind the treaty of versailles at the end of four or one. and ultimately, the senate voted that down largely because the league of nations. during that time he suffered a massive stroke. so for about nine months was incapacitated. his wife, edith, de facto became the president at that time because you limited access to her husband picked anybody wanted to see the president had to go through her doctor, his doctor, or through her. and so she really limited the president access here to other people during that time while he recovered that he actually never fully recovered from the stroke. he left the white house in march of 1921 and warren harding came in, enjoy leisure in the house for about three years. he died here in january 1924. wilson was the president when

prohibition went into effect. there was the prohibition enforcement law was called volstead act, a minnesota congress and. and wayne wheeler basically wrote this act. the act itself was to enforce prohibition itself. it declared anything above .5 percent of call to be intoxicating. to even any kind of beer was considered to be intoxicating. wilson wanted to allow beer and wine to still be available to the public. the anti-saloon league wanted anything without all to be illegal. wilson vetoed the act. we got a very strict interpretation of prohibition. was prohibition went into effect in january 1920, yeah, anything with more than .5% alcohol was considered to be intoxicated. so therefore, illegal to manufacture, sell or transport it.

because transport alcohol was not illegal, there's interesting sites or you're dealing with wilson. wilson was still in the white house, right? but he had a small wine collection in the white house which he did not want to leave behind for warren harding. warren harding was his republican successor. and harding was a known heavy drinker. and also considered to be the most corrupt president in american history. so wilson had to go to congress to get special dispensation and special act had to be passed allowing one person on one particular day to go into the white house and transport wilson's wine collection from the white house to this location here. so one person was allowed to do that, and that's how wilson got his wine collection out of the white house. in early 19 to anyone. it's really fascinating to ask received a wine cellar, because it's right behind me and below me. so about 20 feet behind me, behind these bushes in the house. >> so it's got all these old bottles from the prohibition

era. there are a few bottles there from 1920. edith had good relationships, relations with the french embassy which is close by. of course, the embassies could import alcohol for their use, and she was able to get some alcohol under the table. and you can see some bottles there from 1928 when prohibition was still the law of the land. so again, that's why we bring here the tour here, the temperance tour to the woodrow wilson house. >> and we are done here at the wilson house, then where do you go? >> we actually go to the spanish steps for the final little talked about how prohibition became undone and talk about the legacy of prohibition. in deed, this is the final stop you. this is where i talk about how prohibition really came undone after nearly 14 years. we change the constitution. i'm still kind of flabbergasted by that fact, that in american history, we change the constitution not once, but twice to deal with a call.

one time to ban it and wanted to make it legal again. so all in a space of 14 years. so pretty remarkable, you know. you kind of think, gosh, how did this happen. how did we get to the point where we thought i'll call was so simple, so wrong that we had to change the constitution. that was kind of the central question behind the prohibition hangover, what i decide to go write the book. prohibition went into effect on jangly 16, 1920. and the country initially kind of took a wait-and-see attitude towards the law of the land. a lot of people stockpiled alcohol, you know, some cases enough to last them through the entire dry years. but pretty soon, within a year or two, people start to realize, just because they can't office-supply doesn't mean you still can't find out how. look at this is kind of an economic question that it's like supply and demand, right? the idea behind the anti-saloon

league was to shut down the liquor, the liquor traffic as they called it. and by forcing the country to go dry, meaning if we shut down the saloons and all the alcoa companies, then it will all dry up that it didn't work out that way. there will still demand two-drink people still wanted to drink. it was part of our culture to drink and there's also of course all these ethnic minorities, the germans, the jews, the catholics, the tides and so on, whose rightward push aside to get prohibition has. that came back with a vengeance that these people decided this law was targeted at us, and we're not going to obey it. so the country within just a couple of years started to sour on the idea of prohibition. one of the most interesting things i found during my research was written in 1922. i was kind of stunned when i read this. if i could read one quick brief quote. i think there's a couple of big novels that come out of the 1920. one is the great gatsby and everybody has read that. the other one is by sinclair lewis and it's called mad at.

i found this quote in there. this is written in 1922. only two years into prohibition. lewis is like encapsulated while prohibition is going to fail. so kind of setting it up, it's another to hear it again -- the hero is on a train and they are sharing a bottle of gin. this one guy who brought out a bottle of gin tells the other one, till the other men, i don't allow you tells you about prohibition, but the way it strikes me is that it's a mighty beneficial thing for the poor sod who doesn't have any willpower. but for files like us, it's an infinite of personal liberty. you see right there why prohibition is going to fail, right? as soon as abbot else's prohibitiprohibition is for the other person to obey, but me, i still like to have my cocktail and i'm not giving it a. right that it's going to fail, right? the culture is not behind it. that becomes the big problem right there. by the mid-1920, people are disobeying the laws left and right.

there's so much money to be made during prohibition because there's market still to drink. the progressive cause that has pushed prohibition upon the country, the next generation that comes up during the 1926 enough of progress. we just want to have fun. in 1920 is really a remarkable period. this is the country's first sexual revolution of the time. this is the era of sigmund freud. everybody going to see the shrink. women have the vote in a. prohibition went into effect the same year women get to the. that did not happen -- that was not a coincidence. the next generation of women come up and say okay, women didn't drink before prohibition, now that it's illegal for everybody to drink, guess what? people are going as much as men are. remarkable transition that happens during the 1920s that all these people decide, on a wholesale basis, we're going to disobey the law of the land. alcohol is illegal now. but we're going to do anyway. screw whatever the laws of. so the lawbreaking became

absolute endemic. that became a huge problem. as a bootleggers, not always the most scrupulous bootleggers were started to use alcohol which poisoned thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people. and you also had organized crime taking over cities. that became a huge problem. imagine a city like new york city, which was some people think it's ungovernable. it was also unenforceable for prohibition. much of the police force were irish, catholic. they were more than willing to take a bribe to look the other way. in 1923, new york said we can't enforce prohibition, so they revealed their own statewide prohibition enforcement law. and together at a time, al smith, became the leader of the wet. even of course you also catholic by the way. he got trounced against hoover in 1928, in part because he ran as an open catholic against hoover. that was like the last big time

i think that the country really saw heavy anti-catholic bigotry in the country in the 1920s election. as i mentioned before, you had organized crime taking over cities. chicago is the best example. you think of al capone. probably the most famous games are in world history. he made his fortune bootlegging and i'll. bringing it in from canada, from other places. and of course, it was increasingly turning to violence that everyone has heard of the saint valentine's day massacre from february 14, 1990. i was on the front page of every newspaper in the country. people at that point were realizing how violent prohibition was becoming. but to actually get the constitution changed back seemed like nearly impossible thing, until october of 1929. and of course, that month the stock market collapse. and with the advent of the great

depression, the country went to a political change very similar to what happened in 2006 and 2008. if you remember from the 1920, the '20s belong to the republican party. just like the earlier part of this decade did as a. so all the presidency were republicans and both houses of congress were controlled by the republicans. prohibition passed as a bipartisan measure, and yet the republicans got blamed for it because they they were the party that had to enforce it. with the advent of the great depression, of course, the country had a seismic political shift, just like 2006, 2008 with the country shifted completely from the republicans to the democrats are a wholesale basis. just like now the democrats control congress, both houses and the presidency. the same thing happened in 1930 and 1932. so the democrats ran on a platform of repeal in 1933. meaning we're going to end the noble ex-pat that this has come

to an end. the country doesn't want it anymore. when prohibition began, an estimated quarter million jobs were lost. these were desperately needed jobs. the economy in 1933 contracted by a third, unreal. compared to the great recession of today, what we live through the last couple of years is nothing compared to what people went through during the great depression. the country testily needed those jobs back, and so the democrats ran on a platform of repeal. and the first state to vote for prohibition, the 21st amendment, was michigan in march of 1933. it only took nine months for the final state to vote. and on december 1933 was the state of utah, allstate, utah. and on that day, prohibition came to an end. >> the decisive vote on the 36

date against prohibition is happy news for the nice date and for many others throughout the land. with an eye on the summerfest, thousands are being called back to work. at least 500,000 new jobs are predicted at the result of repeal. . .

>> i started the prohibition handover in 2003 when i took a bottle of wine to my grandmother's place. i came from a methodist family and my grandmother did not have the most positive response. there were three of a set the table. my grandfather, my mother and myself. the light bulb went on. what happened here? i drink, my mom is a social drinker, my grandmother doesn't drink. i don't drink. would happen? why wasn't this generation --

why wasn't that value passed to my mom and myself? i have to explore this question. that was the genesis moment for the -- "the prohibition hangover tour: alcohol in america from demon rum to cult cabernet". i started looking at what happened to americans and alcohol after the repeal. how did we get from a country where we change the constitution not once but twice and alcohol carried a heavy stigma for my grand mother's generation who were born and raised with alcohol, even rum, and to date two thirds of us have had a drink and the stigma is gone in isolated parts of the country. to look at the fundamental question of what happened after the repeal over these last 76 years and how we became this nation again where we fundamentally accept alcohol as part of our social condition today where most of us drink.

one of the things i looked at if i can show you a book, one of the key starting points in my research was this book right here, the alcoholic republic, this is a first edition and i hope to get him to sign it. he is a professor at the university of washington. this was written in 1979. that was the last major book about americans and alcohol. he talked about where the temperance movement came from. it is looking at the drinking habits of americans. it laid out the case of where the protestant movement came from. and the response of what are we going to do about this problem of people drinking themselves to death? this became the grandfather of

american alcohol social history. the starting point with the end of prohibition, the first chapter deals with prohibition but what happened over these last three or four generations since prohibition ended it to see where we have come. i organized the book thematically to look at how the beer culture has emerged. looking at wine and distilleries and so on. looking at the contentious issue of the drinking age, >> reporter: that the drinking age from 18 to 21 back in 1984 and there has been a national debate about that going on about if you can go to war at age 18 or get married or get a will or serve on a jury or inherit property or get divorced or buy pornography or cigarettes but you can't buy alcohol, what is

up with that? you have every right as an adult at 18 but this one right is still not given to you until you are 21. why is that? the last chapter deals with that question. the more modern questions from the public health side known colloquially as prohibition this because they want to put restrictions on alcohol like advertising and drinking and driving. the advertising question that has been going on is a fundamental question since the end of prohibition when people from the beginning wanted to stop advertising alcohol altogether. that debate continues to this day. that is a tug-of-war between the alcohol industry which puts the responsible practice in place and public health advocates who want to stop advertising altogether. >> where do you think this is

going in the country if you look at the drinking age? is there any movement in congress for approaching that law? >> within congress, no. for some people it is a federal question or something to deal with. it is a state issue. there are a number of states that want to ship the drinking age back to 18. there is a movement underfoot by a group of college presidents. 135 college presidents signed the amethyst initiative calling for a nationwide debate about the drinking age, recognizing colleges themselves are the front line for binge drinking.

there's a shift toward binge drinking on college campusess like this prohibition culture going on on college campuss that is troubling. the fact that these students are effectively drinking themselves to death because there is a social taboo against drinking. alcohol is easy to get and that is the fundamental part of it. there is a culture of i don't know when i am going to get my next drink so i will drink to oblivion. there is not a responsible drinking culture established on college campuss. that is a fundamental problem. we don't raise our use like a french, germans or italians, who are taught to drink responsibly. you don't seem nearly the

emphasis of been drinking in many european countries like you seeinge drinking in many european countries like you see in the united states. the state controlled drinking age thanks to the 20 first amendment which repealed prohibition. it gave states control over alcohol importation. the drinking age is a state issue. the way we got the drinking age today, in 1984 mothers against drunk driving lobbied heavily for congress to raise the drinking age from 18 -- force the states to raise the drinking age to 21. they got congress to threaten to withhold 10% of the matching federal highway funds and if they didn't they would lose those highway funds. within a number of years all the states shifted the drinking age to 21.

effectively they were held fiscally hostage. every state shifted the drinking age to 21. >> to end this program, if someone buys your book what do you hope they take away from it? >> get a good understanding of how fundamental alcohol is in american culture. alcohol was there from the beginning, from the first settlers in jamestown who wanted to not grow tobacco but grapes so they could challenge the french monopoly on bordeaux. the first place they landed was provincetown in cape cod and they dug a well to grow beer. these were puritans. people frequently blamed the puritans for prohibition and yet they drank. alcohol has been a fundamental part of american culture since the beginning of the colony's. the idea that the temperance movement could force the country

to go dry and americans wouldn't drink was not leave. it is simply the pattern of our lives. as americans age they modified their drinking habits. alcohol can cause harm but it can also be a good thing for people's lives. it helps us socialized, it has some health benefits particularly to the cardiovascular system. if people take the good things out of alcohol for moderate drinking and it has a good benefit to our lives, alcohol can be a positive -- or be a benefit to our lives in america. >> beer, the improved groups

were well established high in food value by the time the pilgrims set out for america. later, taverns and inns became the meeting places who made american history. they enjoy their favorite brews. the fine beer we enjoy today our beverages with a heritage which is not equal yet as modern as today. in today's brewery laboratories knowledge passed through the centuries is combined with modern chemistry of food to produce beverages that would be the envy of the kings and emperors of old. from the laboratory to the tanks where the finest of american grains are fermented, the beer of today is brewed under spotlessly clean conditions.

to staff these breweries requires nearly one hundred thousand employees burning three hundred fifty million dollars a year. american farms supply most of the ingredients required for brewing. barley, wheat, and soybeans. thousands of tons of it. to be more specific, every year the farmers of america sold breweries 1 billion pounds of farm products worth $250 million. from these fine golden grain's the breweries produce a billion gallons of immaculately pure beer and ale in barrels, cans and bottles to suit every taste and personal preference. taxes on beer and ale provide $850 million a year to state and federal governments in addition to the property and income taxes paid by the brewers, beer distributors and their

respective employees. the brewing industry is proud of its contributions to america. in fine malt beverages leaders will implement, raw material purchases, and taxes. >> the beer promotional film you just saw was created in 1952 for the united states brewers foundation. the entire film is part of the archive that can be watched on line at archive.org. you can learn more about garrett peck's book and force at prohibitionhangover.com. >> there was a change in my life. given the title of my book, i met someone who would later become my husband and when i moved back so we could start our work together and go forward i began to experience firsthand all of the things uranian young people were dealing with when it

came to marriage and moving on in life beyond simply being single and young. this started for me in the course of planning our wedding and there's a chapter in my book devoted to this. is the persian pride's hand book and it looks at the world of weddings. being the woman i was planning the wedding and was quite astonished by the world i encountered, the world of weddings and what a middle-class dream it was to have an extravagant wedding. i was familiar with the culture of extravagant wedding is. i suspected i would find it in iran especially among the middle class who could not afford these kinds of lavish spectacles. >> this was a portion of a booktv prog
